Dear Simon,

it would be nice if there would be a possibility for overriding duck
warnings/reports.

I have an case where a company domain is part of a license (i.e. I can't
change that license), but the company has no more a web page. (The
domain seems to still exist, though, but that shouldn't matter here.)

I imagine being able to add files named debian/duck-overrides or maybe
debian/source/duck-overrides which lists all domains, URLs or e-mail
addresses which are outdated on purpose.

Example:

debian/copyright of libcrypt-blowfish-perl:

debian/duck-overrides would contain:

www.w3works.com

This should whitelist all URLs with that hostname, independent of path
behind the hostname or protocol (e.g. whitelists http and https).
